Abstract

Objective To analyze spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms and evaluation of curative effect. Methods Sixty patients with suspected intracranial aneurysms who were admitted to the hospital during the period from January 2015 to February 2018 were selected as subjects. All patients were examined by DSA and MSCTA and results were analyzed comparatively. Results In 60 patients with suspected intracranial aneurysms, 61 aneurysms were detected by MSCTA, and 54 aneurysms were detected by DSA. The sensitivity, compliance rate, specificity, positive prediction value and negative prediction value of the SCTA test were all higher than those of the DSA, and the difference was statistically significant(P0.05). Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of MSCTA are good in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms and it can be used for early diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms.
